Mono-HOPE Versus Dual-HOPE in Liver Transplantation: A Propensity Score-Matched Evaluation of Early Graft Outcome

Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) has become an integral technique to enhance donor graft function in liver transplantation (LiTx). This study compares early posttransplant outcomes of mono-HOPE (portal vein perfusion only) versus dual- HOPE (both portal vein and hepatic artery perfusi...

description Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) has become an integral technique to enhance donor graft function in liver transplantation (LiTx). This study compares early posttransplant outcomes of mono-HOPE (portal vein perfusion only) versus dual- HOPE (both portal vein and hepatic artery perfusion). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 183 LiTx recipients, with 90 receiving mono-HOPE and 93 receiving dual-HOPE grafts. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was applied, resulting in a matched cohort of 146 patients. Primary outcomes included one-year patient and graft survival, and non-anastomotic biliary strictures (NAS). Secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay (HLS). One-year patient survival was 81.7% in the mono-HOPE and 81.7% in the dual-HOPE group, and overall survival did not differ (p = 0.990). One-year death-censored graft survival was similarly comparable (91.2% vs. 93.3%, p = 0.893). NAS were observed in 10.96% in the mono-HOPE and 8.22% in the dual-HOPE group (p = 0.574). The median HLS was 29 days for both groups. Results suggest that dual-HOPE did not significantly improve patient or graft survival, nor did it reduce NAS or HLS compared to mono-HOPE. Assuming that larger cohorts and long-term follow-up data confirm this, additional cannulation of the hepatic artery during machine perfusion in hypothermic conditions may not be beneficial.
